Finances were a constant concern for the family.The costs of entertaining along with the expenses of having a large family were too much for John’s salary.When Charles was just four months old，the family moved to a smaller home to cut costs.

From a very young age，Charles dreamed of becoming a gentleman.He wanted a formal education.His parents did have some limited funds put aside to send one of their children to a university.Mr and Mrs Dickens considered the talents and qualifications of all their children.They wanted to use the money earmarked(留出)for education where it would do the most good.It was as if they were placing all their bets on one child.Charles was not that child.His parents chose to send their daughter，Fanny，to school.She had a talent for music and was sent to an academy.

Vegetarianism(素食主义) is growing in popularity in lots of countries.And now，South Africa is one of them.Today，more and more South Africans are experimenting with the vegetarian way of life by cutting all meat out of their diet.

Others are exploring veganism(纯素食主义)．Vegans are similar to vegetarians but they avoid all animal-based products，including milk and eggs.Some vegans do not eat honey.There is no official count of how many vegans there are in South Africa.But the interest has led to the birth of vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Johannesbur，the nation’s economic center.And this year，Africa’s first big vegan and plant-based-festival launches in Cape Town.The Vegan & Plant Powered Show takes place at the end of May.

But veganism can be lonely road for many South Africans.The country is Africa’s top consumer of meat from cows，pigs and sheep，based on information from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.Many South Africans express shock at the thought of giving up meat，which is central to celebrations and spirituality.

This is an issue for many African vegans，including Anesu Mbizvo.“In African culture，a big part of family’s net worth is their livestock(畜牧)．Their livestock define the wealth of family.And so when you kill an animal at a gathering，it’s seen as you giving of yourself.” But offering home-grown vegetables，she added，would not be considered as valuable.She said，“I think that’s one of the barriers to veganism for people of African cultures.”

Some South Africans are finding their path somewhere in the middle.Thirty-one-year-old Thandiwe Ngubeni is a communications specialist.She still eats meat—but less and less of it as time goes by.“I feel more energetic when I eat a vegetarian or vegan meal.It actually just gives me more energy.”

8．Which of the following best describes vegans?

A．They eat a little meat.

B．They only eat vegetables.

C．They build vegan restaurants.

D．They refuse any food from animals.

9．What prevents veganism from being more popular in South Africa?

A．A huge demand for meat.

B．Traditional views of livestock.

C．Ignoring the value of vegetables.

D．Gap between the rich and the poor.

10．What do we know about Thandiwe Ngubeni?

A．She is a vegan.

B．She is a vegetarian.

C．She takes the middle road.

D．She refuses to eat any meat.

11．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Many South Africans Welcome a Vegan Lifestyle

B．Meat in South Africa Will Become Less Valuable

C．Veganism Is Impossible to Practice in South Africa

D．Vegans’ Behaviors Are Too Extreme

In today’s short attention span information-overloaded age，there are new challenges for creative workers.

For creators，the news and information cycle is so fast that to earn attention for your work suggests you have to keep up with it all.But the other side of that technological coin is that it’s easier than ever to make things and distribute them online.

Of course the entire planet does not care when yet more media is added to the world.But even 50 years ago，before the Internet，there were more films made each year than anyone could possibly see and more books published annually than anyone could read.

Before the web there was often no way to get your work distributed unless you had permission.Given the choice of a) depending on the approval of others to finish projects and share them with the world，but having fewer competitors vs.b) being able to put anything into the world，but I have to compete with everyone else for attention，I definitely choose b．At least I have a chance.At least I can compete，and use my skills at creation as an advantage.

Attention from fans matters more than the rest of the world.The most famous people in any media get most of the attention.But the fallacy is that you need to be in that top 1% or 5% to make a living.As a matter of fact，you simply need enough fans and attention to earn you enough money to make a living.

A creative life is not the safe and secure path.The more creative the life you choose，the more risk that will come with it.It can be wonderfully rewarding，but you are choosing to compete to earn a living，and even if you do everything right，the chances are that you can still fail.I recommend doing it anyway，since you will learn more about life and yourself by taking the challenging path，but you should do it with your eyes open.

12．In what way was the situation 50 years ago similar to the mentioned one?

A．People needed to compete for attention.

B．Few people cared about creative works.

C．Many people engaged in creative work.

D．People had difficulty in spreading their works.

13．Why does the author choose “b” instead of “a”？

A．He is afraid of fierce competition.

B．He wants to have more competitors.

C．He is badly in need of more attention.

D．He values the opportunity to compete.

14．What does the underlined word “fallacy” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．A new opinion.   B．A wrong belief.

C．A valuable idea.   D．A strange concept.

15．What’s the author’s attitude to a creative life?

A．Critical.   B．Doubtful.

C．Supportive.   D．Ambiguous.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Learned optimism is about developing the ability to view the world from a positive point of view.  1   According to research，people who were more optimistic at age 25 were much healthier later between the ages of 45 and 60 than the pessimistic(悲观的) people.Optimistic people tend to live longer.  2   When trying to lose weight，for example，optimists are more likely to focus on positive changes，which will help them reach their goals.

According to research，in addition to being partly hereditary(遗传的)，optimism levels are also influenced by childhood experiences.Research suggests that it may be beneficial to teach kids optimism skills late enough in childhood，but before the arrival of puberty(青春期)．  3   Teaching children such skills at their young ages might help them avoid psychological problems.

  4   Now let’s use an example to show it：Imagine that you recently started a new exercise plan but you’re having trouble sticking with it.Then write down the thoughts running through your mind.You might think things like “Maybe I’m not strong enough to reach my goals.”Meanwhile，ask yourself，“Did such beliefs result in positive actions，or prevent me reaching my goals？” Then you may quickly realize that the negative beliefs make it more difficult to stick with your workout plan.  5   And in this way，you’ll be left feeling more motivated.

A．There is an effective approach to becoming optimistic.

B．There are many benefits of becoming an optimistic person.

C．They don’t let it influence their beliefs about their abilities in other areas.

D．Optimists，on the other hand，expect that good things will happen to them.

E．Next，try to consider all of the times that you did successfully finish your workout.

F．This is because kids have skills to think about their own thoughts during this period.

G．Additionally，optimism can also help you maintain motivation when pursuing goals.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest.Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure.When the final bell rang，the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day.“Enjoy your extra day off，” said the teacher to her class.

An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine.She loved breaks.She wanted to go out to play with her friends.When the school bus dropped Kayla off，she ran into the house happily.

“How was school，Kayla？” asked her mom.

“It was great，Mom.I am excited about no school on Monday.”

“You just started back to school two weeks ago.Already in need of a break，huh？” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh.

Kayla slept in the next morning.Saturday was her favorite day of the week.It rained most of the day，so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside.On Sunday，her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.

Then it was Labor Day，you know，the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to.But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad.He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day，the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house.Kayla couldn’t believe it.This was a holiday.A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house.As Kayla wiped her eyes，she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.

“Kayla，your breakfast is ready.We have a lot of work to do today.Let’s get a move on，” said Kayla’s mom.As she sat down at the kitchen table，Kayla asked her parents，“Are you serious about working today？Isn’t Labor Day a holiday？”

“Yes，Kayla.It is，” replied her dad.“But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.”

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

At first，Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday.                  

But things began to change as she was doing the chores.
